    Ahhhh the sixties... I envision myself one early Saturday morning wearing plaid shorts, black shoes with white socks smoking a cigarette heading to the hardware store to buy a bag of nails.
    SWB cars are an acquired taste however once acquired theirs no turning back.

    I've never been a fan of the Pinto but my nutty brother had one. And, he was rear-ended by semi and didn't explode so I figured he was a cat and had 8 lives left... I think he may only have a couple remaining
    The best thing about that Pinto was taking off in first gear (manual shift) winding it up to the red line, holding it there for several seconds, lifting the throttle while turning the ignition key off... then after a second, turning the key back on, and then... KA-POW!

    I would never follow him again in that piece of crap.
